Probably everybody  heard about the common fraud "for the grandson". This time the swindlers clients of Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) by e-mail or phone. Clients can receive infected electronic correspondence or can be persuaded to use paid counselling. 

The e-mail message contains information about  the possibility to recalculate the retirement pensions due to the change of provisions of the Funded Pension Act. In order to authenticate the message which is supposed to be allegedly sent from ZUS, the e-mail contains contact address. Also phone calls are being made and clients get the offer to meet the representative of Social Insurance Institution to recalculate the retirement pension based on new provisions. Certainly this service is not free of charge. 

ZUS warns and sensifies its clients. Social Insurance Institution didn't send to its customers the e-mail message with information about the possibility to recalculate the benefit payments, additionally ZUS employees never contact clients in this matter over the phone. 

If we have any doubts, we can find at the website of Social Insurance Institution the contact number to the ZUS Telephone Centre Service. There we can verify the people who contact us on behalf of ZUS.
